[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have an image in the current Los Angeles Magazine that was shot on digital. As I originally shot for newspaper quality, I had the setting set for basic. For mag. work I need at least the fine setting. In this case it looks pretty grim, i.e. noisy and harsh tonality. The photo editor took it because of the press schedule not leaving time for a decent 120 shot. I had a friend tell that me that Getty/Stone still only takes film, and refuses to accept digital work.
